Ramona Curry teaches histories, theories, and strategies for writing about cinema and other forms of popular media and culture. Prof. Curry's research focuses on the sociocultural impact of media institutions, including film stars and cinema distribution and exhibition historically. She is author to date of a book on the shifting cultural functions of Mae West's image over eight decades and of numerous essays that have appeared in anthologies and journals in the US, Europe, and Asia. Several of her essays have appeared in Chinese or German translation.
As a recipient in 2004 and 2014-15 of Fulbright awards, Prof. Curry has taught and lectured in Hong Kong, the People's Republic of China, Sweden, Finland and Germany. She has written extensively about German cinema and also about films made in Hong Kong. Her most recent publications draw heavily on census and genealogical records, shipping manifests, and other newly digitized government and newspaper archives, to reveal fresh facets of early trans-Pacific film distribution and reception. Prof. Curry is currently completing a monograph entitled "Trading in Cultural Spaces: How Chinese Film Came to America," which takes an urban cultural geographic and historiographic approach to rewriting American cinema history “from the margins.”

My second book project locates mid-seventeenth-century poetry within both the messy material realities of early modern warfare and the busy, emerging news culture that increasingly reported these realities. In doing so, it reveals a body of war poetry heavily invested in exploring the violent subjectivities, paradoxical self-divisions, bloody oppositions, and irresolvable ethical impasses of civil war.
